In Loving Memory Of

Ramon Barbola, Jr.

September 01, 1949 - July 22, 2026

Ramon Barbola, Jr. , born on September 01, 1949, in San Benito, Texas, to Ramon Barbola Sr. and Maria Castillo, passed away July 22, 2026, after a short illness at the age 77 at Valley Baptist Medical Center, Harlingen, Texas, surrounded by his loving wife and family.

Ramon was drafted into the United States Army after high school class of 1970. He served his country in Vietnam and Germany. He was my hero during an unpopular war. Ramon finished his service at Fort Stewart, Georgia and in January 1979 he was honorably discharged. He served nine total years in the rank of Sergeant. Ramon was a kind, loving, caring devoted husband, father grandfather, son, and friend. He never said a harsh word, always doing selfless acts for others.

He is survived by his loving wife, Odette G. Barbola of forty-eight years, his son Ramon Barbola, III, his daughter Christina Barbola, and granddaughter Emma C. Vela. He is survived by his brother Frankie Barbola (Rose Mary), Mario Barbola, Larry Morning Star, Kenny Diguirson (Cata), and by his brother Steve's wife, Carmen. He is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.

Ramon is preceded in death by his mother, Maria C Barbola and his brothers, William Barbola, Alfredo Barbola, and Steve Barbola.

Many thanks from the Barbola family to the ER staff at Valley Baptist Medical Center, especially to the Doctors and Nurses in the ICU for the loving care and understanding they showed my husband. A special thank you to the Doctors and staff at the VA Clinic of Harlingen, Texas.

Thank you all!
